Marlins Might Dismiss Ozzie Guillen

Ozzie Guillen could lose his job after a disappointing debut season in Miami. The Marlins are thinking about firing Guillen and have contacted at least one potential replacement, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports.

The Marlins plan to fire president of baseball operations Larry Beinfest and replace him with assistant GM and VP of player personnel Dan Jennings, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reported yesterday. However, Rosenthal reports that Miami is more likely to dismiss Guillen than re-structure its front office. The Marlins haven’t made a definitive decision regarding Guillen, Rosenthal writes. Owner Jeffrey Loria will make the final call.

The Marlins would likely hire a low-priced alternative if they dismiss Guillen, according to Rosenthal. Former Marlins third baseman Mike Lowell has been discussed as a replacement, MLB.com's Joe Frisaro reported yesterday. Nationals third base coach Bo Porter and Padres special assistant Brad Ausmus are alternate candidates, Rosenthal adds.

So if this leaks out like it has, then I can see Ozzie says " I don't fracking care if they want to fire me" Like I told Kenny (Williams) And Jerry (Reinsdrof) when I was with the Whitesox, "If you Ho-mo's want me gone then so be it. I don't fracking care"

Oh man, this is going to be an interesting weekend end of Ozzie-isms. I can't wait..........Ozzie is a cancer to any team, he gets his hands on after he Won a World Series. Time for him just be a bench coach again and leave the Managing part to someone else.

They need to get rid of the front office. If they just got rid of Ozzie and nobody else, I'd be ticked.

What makes no sense is why they go out and pay for some talent but then jump ship when things don't go their way. I don't understand the logic behind having a firesale halfway through the season when you JUST brought these guys in. Go out and get one or two more pieces...what they needed was another good bat, but they decided to give up instead.

They had nothing to lose since the owners fleeced the state and county into using tax-payers money to build that stadium. Then when they dump money into players, they can do what that have done 2 other times with this franchise. It seems to be the business model no matter who the owners are.

Marlins ownership is a bunch of morons. Everyone needs to go, because they are idiots.

Ozzie should be fired for not playing Austin Kearns full time!!!! That's his biggest mistake to me, but I might be a bit biased.....
